It has a free version, but only for less than ten users. Many features are <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.atlassian.com\/software\/jira\/pricing\">also not available for free<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For many teams, you may just want a simple board to keep track of organizing your issues, and don\u2019t want to have to set up and manage an external solution. For those people, GitHub\u2019s internal solution will work very well. It is basic in comparison, but many teams will prefer to be on GitHub regardless.<\/p>\n<p>GitHub also has a paid version, but all of the issue and project management tools are offered for free, regardless of whether you\u2019re using a public or private repository.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Getting_Started\"><\/span>Getting Started<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>GitHub\u2019s Kanban boards are called \u201cProjects,\u201d and you can have multiple projects for each repository. You can also have global projects that aren\u2019t linked to any repositories, which are available from your profile.<\/p>\n<p>One thing to note is that there is no way to make a private project board for a public repository, it simply defaults to public with no option to turn that off. Until GitHub changes that, you\u2019ll need to use a personal project that is set to private, or a project on a private repository.<\/p>\n<p>From your main page for your repo, click on \u201cProjects\u201d:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12519\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cloudsavvyit.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/07\/0c8d8d62.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"330\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Create a new project, and give it a name and de<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">script<\/a>ion.<\/p>\n<p>You have a few options for templates, though all of them are just Kanban boards. The two interesting ones are \u201cAutomated Kanban\u201d and \u201cAutomated Kanban with Reviews,\u201d which both integrate with issues and pull requests to automatically move them across the board.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12520\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cloudsavvyit.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/07\/79bf3909.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"\" width=\"681\" height=\"618\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>In any case, after you\u2019ve created the board you\u2019ll be presented with a list of columns with the option to create cards and move them around.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12521\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cloudsavvyit.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/07\/6db41520.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"311\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the basic cards don\u2019t have any options for tags or in-list organization. However, that\u2019s because you need to convert them to an full issue, which shows up on the issue list for the repository, and offers the ability for discussion on that issue.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12523\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cloudsavvyit.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/07\/b67fbe9c.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"\" width=\"444\" height=\"206\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Then, you can assign it to specific people and create labels for it. The card will now link to the issue page with the full discussion.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12522\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cloudsavvyit.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/07\/84fda7b9.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"\" width=\"447\" height=\"187\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>You can filter issues by label and milestone, as well as based on the status of the pull request linked to it:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12530\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cloudsavvyit.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1ce57e27.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"\" width=\"530\" height=\"314\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>You can also convert issues to cards, in reverse. If someone opens an issue, you can add it to a project (or multiple projects) from the issue settings:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12524\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cloudsavvyit.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/07\/a3fd0dd9.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"321\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Unless you assign it to a list, it will go into a queue where it can be assigned.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12525\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cloudsavvyit.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/07\/0a71adc5.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"376\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>You can also link the issue with pull requests, or set milestones for long term organization. These will also show up on the card in the project board.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12526\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cloudsavvyit.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/07\/b62bc6b5.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"\" width=\"436\" height=\"299\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Once cards are linked with issues, there\u2019s no way to unlink. If you delete the issue, the card will be deleted as well (though simply closing it is fine).<\/p>\n<p>Overall, GitHub\u2019s Kanban organization is simply an extension of their existing issue system. If you\u2019re looking for more organizational tools for issues, it\u2019s great, though if you\u2019re looking for a Kanban board for rigorous time-tracking, you may be better off with a solution like Jira.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
